Drawing from the Well SAOITHE: Christy Moore
ITMA presents SAOITHE a new online series featuring in-depth conversations with traditional artists Christy Moore, Catherine McEvoy, Frankie Gavin, Sarah Ghriallais, Matt Molloy, Dolly McMahon, and Paddy Moloney (1938-2021).
The fortnightly series premieres with Christy Moore on Wednesday, 5 October 2022, at 8 pm (Irish time) and will be freely available to watch online at ITMA Facebook Instagram YouTube and website.
Ranging from earliest musical experiences, to sage advice to young people, to hopes for the future of the tradition, this series offers in-depth conversations with seven of Ireland’s most influential and outstanding tradition bearers.
The long-format Q&A style interviews, with performance and illustrative archival recordings, expand our understanding of these artists by exploring their influences and by seeking out their personal philosophies as traditional artists.
SAOITHE is an extension of ITMA’s online archival series Drawing from the Well which is available to watch here:
